I found your confession of epochal profligacy on your own website.
Sounds like you pounded this sludge out when you were trippin'.


"So what's this really cool night light, space heater, and marshmallow
cooker called. Are you sittin' down? Cool. It's an Audio Note Ongaku.
OK, OK, the 'bout $500 a month i pay for it stinks BIG TIME, but
ohhhhhhh the music!!! Enough 'bout the toys, let's get on to what
really counts... T H E M U S I C!!! You see, i put a record on the
table, and my room disappears. LOOK!!!! There's Robert Plant, the
Satchmo, Billie Holiday, the Doors, and even King Crimson RIGHT THERE
a-playin' there hearts out right in my very own home no less!!!
MAN-O-MAN and do they jam out too. My neighbors hate me though as you
will soon see why :-{(+ .

"Lookey here at this little ol' Crystal Clear album with pipe organ
music on it (heh heh). The way those 32 foot pedal sounds is a sight,
er, um, i mean a sound to behold. Ahhhhhhh the music :-{)+ . Then we
gots this little record here by Pink Floyd. A Japanese pressin' no less
of "The Wall". After listenin' to it, i HAVE become comfortably numb
:-{)+ . OK, OK, for you who want specs, i aint got any for ya :-{)+ .
Too bad huh. Then again, what REALLY matters is the way a system
reproduces MUSIC folks. Ya' know. What i'm trying to tell you 'bout
here. OK, OK, here's the breakdown of my junk in the room i officially
named "Room 1". i gots me 2 rooms which are dedicated for music
ecstasy. Life is good. i'm broke, but happy.)."


Acapulco Gold, I'd say (but my experience is limited, of course).
